    Just a hair over 70lbs since it maxes out at that. For a while I shot my old Golden Eagle at 84 lbs with fingers.

    I was at 75# but a good freind pointed out the how to set your proper weight limit. Hold your bow straight out and pull straight back on the string. If you can't get that string back with out extra movement, your set too high. Wtih deer close to you, you want the lease amount of movement. Also, keep in mind most states only require 35# minimum. I am now around 65-70#.
